The Black Panther Party: A Graphic Novel History by David F. Walker
dark
informative
fast-paced
5.0
So my gut reaction was: "wow, J. Edgar Hoover just went up my list of 'worst Americans' by a lot". Like, I was aware that a) the Panthers had been targeted by COINTELPRO, b) there was a lot of ugly history and misogyny in the movement, and c) Fred Hampton was straight up assassinated by cops, but man. It's even uglier than I thought and a stain on America.
PS, this is further reason why Ronald Reagan was always terrible and saying charitable things about him is wrong 99% of the time.
